Good Fences on the Farm.

Many an animal becomes breachy
because of the carelessness of the
farmer in looking after his fences. A
board gets loose or broken, and this
not having been attended to at once
the animal gets out of the inclosure.
Having once done this the beast is more
apt to try again, and finally even a
good strong fence will not restrain it
The cheapest and best way is to build
a good fence in the beginning. and then
see that it is kept in good repair, so
none of the stock will be tempted to get
over it or break it down. Animals kept
in lots surrounded by good fences are
not likely to become unruly, and if one
should be obtained that has acquired
this habit, it will be found better to dis
pose of it, lest it not only prove a
source of constant annoyance, but also
be the means of making others in his
herd troublesome National Lire Stock

self to rest in the shade of this great
god, that sleep overlook him. He
dreamt in his slumber at the moment
when the sun was at the zenith, and it
seemed to him as though this great god
spoke to him with his own mouth, Just
as father speaks to his son, addressing
him thus: Behold me, look atme, thou,
my son Thutmes. ] am thy father Hor-
makhu, Khafra, Ra, Tum. The king
dom shall be given to thee, and thou
shalt wear the white crown and the red

The world shall be thine in its length
and in its breadth, as far as the light of
the eye of the lord of the universe
shines. Plenty and riches shall be thine;
the best from the interior of the land,
and rich tributes from all nations. Long
years shall be granted thee as thy term
of life. Ny countenance is gracious

repeated all these speeches., and he
understood 0he meaning) of the words
of the god. and laid them up in his
heart. speaking thus to himself: i see

statue which was made to Tum-Hor-
makhu."
The rest of the inscription is de-
strOyed; and Mr.. Flinders Petrie tells
us that since the last time the tablet
was uncovered, the word Khafra has
scaled off from the stone. At any rate
we learn from the Corpus Ipscriptionans
Grecarum that the King uncovered the
monster image of the god, exposing
him entirely to view, and that the in
habitants of Pi-usiri-the city of Osiris
-(Busiris) undertook to be the guides
for the numbers of strangers who then,
as now, focked to see what was even
at that period one of the marvels of
antiquity.-Cbanabers' Journal.

He was little fellow not over twelve
years old, and he was sitting behind a
box over at the Omaha depot the other
morning softly crying and looking very
dirty and forlorn.
'What's the matter?' we asked.
"Haint nothin' the matter" he said,
defiantly, sitting up straight, hastily
brushing away his tears and pushing
back his jacket little so as to display
the handle of an old revolver in his
pocket. Then he looked off across the
river at the strange buildings and lost
his bravery, and buried his head again
and sobbed through his tears:
80, mister, I've been a-runnin' away

"What made you run away?"
Il thought it would be nice, but it

tears flowed.

he looked up pitifully and Strengthened
his little cap on his curly head.
We took him along and he ate three
or four meals in one, but even after
that he didn't say word about extermi-

grave-looking father arrived looking for
very homesick boy. and they went
back together. So the Government lost

ON AN OCEAN STEAMER.
The System of Watches Adopted by q
Transatlantic Steamship Lines.

The System of Watches Adopted by the
Transatlantic Steamship Lines.
The officers and sailors are divided
into two watches, and keep watch and
watch from the time of departure from
one port till the time of arrival at
the other. These watches are: First
watch, from 8 p. m. till midnight; mid
die watch from Il. m. till a. m. fore
noon watch. from 8 a. m. till noon;
afternoon watch. from noon till 1 p. m.
then come the dog watches, the first
from 4 p. m. till 6 p. M; the second
from 6 p. m. till s p. M. by this ar
rangemeDt seven instead of six watches
are made, the intention being to change
the turn of the night watch every
twenty-four hours. BY the way, it was
facetiously remarked by Theodore Hook
that the term dog watch comes from
these watches being 'curtailed." The
chief officer, third and fifth officers,
and half the sailors are in one watch,
(the port watch); the second, fourth
and sixth officers and half the
sailors make up the starboard
watch. When the chief officer is
on deck ! e is stationed on the bridge
where the telegraphs to the engine
room, wheel-house, and other parts of
the vessel are fixed; the third officer is
on the lookout bridge, forward. and the
fifth officer is at the con attending to the
steering of the ship; two of the sailors
are stationed as far forward as possible
as lookout men, one sailor is stationed
at the crank hatch to pass an order to
the engine-rOom should anything go
wrong with the telegraph to the engine
room, and a quartermaSter is stationed
in the after wheelhouse to attend to the
steering engine and also to look after
the wheel chains; in thick weather the
lookouts are doubled, and in heavy
weather additional men are stationed in
the after wheelhouse to put the brakes
on the circle on the rudder head should
any thing go wrong with the wheel
chains, steering engine, etc, in which
case the hand steering gear could be at
tached in less than a minute; the re-
naming part of the watch, under the
boatswain, attend to making or short
ening sail, washing decks, etc When
the starboard watch comes on deck the
second officer relieves the chief officer,
the fourth the third officer, and the
sixth the fifth officer, the lookouts, ETC.,
being relieved by members of the watch
coming on duty. Every care and at
tention is paid by the officers and look
outs or it would be impossible to navi-
gate ocean steamers as safely as is done.
This routine is carried on from the be-
ginning till the end of the passage, and
through sunshine and darkness. storm
and tempest. the only change is remov-
ing the lookout men from the fore end
of the ship, where they might have n
chance of being washed away, to the
lookout bridge, or even to the main
bridge. but this latter is only done in
very bad weather.-Good Words.

DECORATION DAY.

The sounds OF martial music swell
The soldiers tramp again is heard
And thoughts OF those who fought and fell
Emotions Counts again have stirred
60 decorate their graves today
Who bravely fought the good fight well; T
For sweetest flowers that blow in May
Are but the needs OF those who fell
Whene' er you deck a grave where lies
The earthly form Of some brave soul,
Anon you walk in his own guise,
And nearer stand 10 Heaven's goal.
For, when in sympathy we dwell
In nearness to noble aim.
No power within OCr hearts can oueil
The longing wish to share its fame.
e The noble dead, The noble dead.
Their spirits lowering round our way
In sweeter paths our feet have led,
And turned our souls from night to day.
Who honors virtue, plants its seeds
Within his own awakened breast,
% To ripen into glorious deeds.
And make himself and others blest.
The worth you thus commemorate
Shall shed its spirit round your way,
And. be you faithful soon or late
Shall hold your soul within its sway.
II brave-your soul shall steadtast grow;
II fair-in fairer light twill bloom;
II fond-it sweet with hope will glow;
1t true-immortals. give il room.

to paw premium for it. In the one ar

Vulnerable cheap compounds, including
mineral matter, to increase the weight,
and as the consumption is deleter1ous TO
health, have tried various methods to
overcome it and give satisfaction to my
customers. This was finally brought
about by little device which is freely
used on all Partisan tables. 1t is nothing
less than a small hand mill, with which
the consumer grinds its own pepper, and
as it is laid on the table, to be employed
during the meal, there can be no deep
ton. I have the only one of the kind in
the country, and such is the desire for
pure food that merchants have offered me
the price of dozen grinders for my sam
pie, but they can not get it.-Restaura-

The man next to me was fishing for
clam shell with his toes, and suddenly
suspended operations to whisper:

There were three men beyond us, and

Everyone started, and as l turned l

we struck the first wave the man at the

stood up we saw that one side of his bath

Grass cloth is likely to have more
extensive market than formerly. 1t Is
a Chinese production, specimens Of
which come to US generally in the shape
Of handkerchiefs The material is q
fiber, not grass, and species of nettles.
Those nettles ore carefully cultivated in
China, where they CROWN 6 reat quanti-
ties, as they do in India and Ceylon. In
India hitherto no marked attempt of cul-
tivation has been made. They arc free
from the singing character of the orli-
nary nettles. In Ceylon and India,
where the plants grow wild. these nettles
are cut just about the time Of seeding
and bleachcd by the assistance Of the
heavy night dews and the hot mid
day suns, and the fibers gathered
together and spun into ropes Of
thin twine, from which coarse
mating is made. This primitive way Of
treating the ncttles is not followed in
China, and, indeed, the employment Of,
the fiber silk for commercial purposes
seems to be a Chinese secret. Not only
is the texture Of the cloth manufactured
from this fiber very bcautiful--it is
principally remarkable for its splendid
gloss and peculiar transparency-but it
is extremely strong and durable. Bet
ing for machinery has already becn made
with the China grass fiber, and on being
tested it was found that it could bear
strainsof 1926 pounds to thessquare inch,
whereas leather could only sustain a.
pressure Of 4249 pounds to the square
inch. So soon as manufacturers and
customers have had sufficient time for
experimenting we may expect to sec

While an old gentleman named Wal
deck was fishing about mile from War
saw Missouri, on the Usage river, he
saw an immense snake summing itself be-
hind log. The snake was one of the
horned kind, such as had never been
seen ia that locality before. It was
some fifteen feet long, and as il showed
signs of anger, Mr.. Waldcck thought it
time to be off. In his haste Mr.. Wal
deck cropped his spectacles, and, reach
ing down to pick them up, saw the
snake in pursuit Of him and approaching
rapidly. Mr.. Waldeck left his glasses
and made haste toward Warsaw, where
he reported the facts. A party Of citi-
zens started ont to kill or capture the
anake, and upon reaching the spot were
very much surprised to see the snake
wearing Mr.. Waldeck's spectacles and
reading the snake stories III the Glode-
Democrat, at which he was laughing
heartily. This isa true story, and can
be vouched for by number Of Benton
